Vitaly, Kumar,

Have a few questions:

- Do you have any plans on actually using device model information by
drivers (as was done in the mpc8xxx/gianfar) on m8xx? Its not very clear
to me what are the the practical advantages of that?

- I don't know whether its possible to retrieve 8xx CPUID information
(if there is any). Can't find anything in the manual.
